1. Some stories are Missing: For example, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1787019 ("When Intel’s Hyper Threading goes bad") was posted on Oct 13, 2010. But it is missing your list.
2. How often do you update #Points & #Comments? I mean if I just post a comment or upvote any OLD story on news.combinator.com & then if I browse back to that day on your site. Its not showing the updated values. I guess you are storing the stories but not updating them. What is your criterion for updating the #Points & #Comments?
3. What is your criterion for "top" in top 10, 20, 50%? Its definitely not points.
PS: How are you getting the stories from news.ycombinator.com? Scraping or do they offer some JSON API?
